You Only Live Once Acoustic

This is an acoustic version of The Strokes' You Only Live Once. 
I've played this many times, it works great on an acoustic guitar :) - Sam

Capo on 4, all chords relative to capo. Rhythm for the verse is DUDUDUDU U U UD D

When playing 'C' chord, add your pinky finger to the 3rd fret of the e string. 
(Don't know the actual name for this chord)

C7   C   G    D

C7     C       G       D
Ooooooooooooh, ooooooh oooooooh

                                 C7         C
Some people think they're always right, 
                        G        D
Others are quiet and uptight
                         C7                             C
Others, they seem so very nice, nice, nice, nice, nice, oh oh,
                                G     D
Inside they might feel sad and wrong, oh no,
                  C7       C
29 different attributes,
                G       D            
Only 7 that you like, oh oh,
                    C7     C
20 ways to see the world,  oh oh,
                    G      D
20 ways to start a fight, oh oh,

a-don't don't don't get up!

A   C   D

               G     D      C
ch-ch-ch-ch I can't see the sunshine,
       A       C      D
Woah, I'll be waiting for you baby,
 G          D             C
                 'cos I'm through.
        A         C         D
Sit me down,
        G         D         C
Shut me up,
           A         C         D
I'll calm down,
     G         D         C
And I'll get along with you.

C         C7         G             D

C7     C       G        D
Ooooooooooooh, ooooooh oooooooh
                              C7        C
Oh, men don't notice what they got,
                       G        D
Women think of that a lot,
                                C7      C
One thousand ways to please your man, oh oh,
                         G       D
Not even one requires a plan, I know.
                            C7       C
And countless odd religions too,
                             G       D
It doesn't matter which you choose, oh no,
                              C7        C
One stubborn way to turn your back, oh oh,
                        G      D
This I've tried and I refuse, oh oh,

Don't don't don't get up!

A   C   D

            G        D       C
ch-ch-ch-ch I can't see the sunshine,
       A       C       D
Woah, I'll be waiting for you baby,
 G          D             C
                 'cos I'm through.
         A       C       D
Sit me down,
         G       D       C
Shut me up,
            A      C       D
I'll calm down,
      G         D         C
And I'll get along with you.




For the outro i usually do the same rhythm with the tab:


Which I think is what he plays in the verse of the regular version of the song.
